But she knew she had him right where she wanted him and it excited her.
It was there in his voice, slightly, but she knew it.
He cared too much about that two cents worth personal assistant of his to let her waltz over there to her desk and break his golden secret to her.
The joy it'd bring her to watch that face scrunch up in hurt and pain.
She was sure the little, naive thing knew nothing and she intended to keep it that way, but first, she wanted Jordan in her clutch.
"What the fuck do you want!?"
That anger and frustration she craved was becoming more obvious in his tight voice and she wondered just how much longer she could pull before he snapped.
She didn't push her luck though, this opportunity was too golden to pass.
The man was a fucking gol

“Why aren't you home yet?”Zayn cold voice carried through the line, burning through him.Why wasn't he home yet?Yes, it was because he hadn't coughed up enough balls to spill his guts to the one person who deserved it the most.And now shit was getting more complicated with Fayre back in the picture.“Can you hear me Jordan?”Of course he could, just to messed up to say shit right now.“Yeah.”“Father hasn't come conscious since they operated on him, the doctors say that having you guys around him might be what he needs to jolt out of it..........”He doubted that, but of course he planned to go for him.“Malik can't say if he can make it back and that asshole is a fucking medic, you are my only option now.”

Jojo felt like a fool.There's been a lot going on, but watching him, with her, it took a different level of bravery to not breakdown and let herself go, right there in front of them.He did make his stand in all this clear to her and to think that he might have been back with his ex all the time he'd been saying 'stay with me' to her.She felt sick seeing them and she felt stupid, foolish, you name it and she felt it.It was like she was living her life in a crazy circle.She'd always be insecured about him falling back with her, or falling for any other women at that and he always will, fall for them because that's the man he is.She left the room silently and slipped in to the break room when she couldn't watch them any longer.The tears were stinging and burning her eyes, but she didn't want to cry.She'd seen it coming and she'd gone ahead and

JoJo wasn't sure why she had thought they'd be flying a commercial plane to wherever it was they were traveling to.Of course, he had a private jet, he was Jordan fucking McGrath and he was that loaded.Another tell tale sign that their worlds were too far apart to fit together.She'd packed light, justa few essentials and hopefully that will get her through their stay there.The engine that was his jet was sleek and beautiful with twin engines, and though she didn't know much about aircrafts, she could tell this one had cost a lot.She had to wait a bit for Jordan to talk stuffs with some guy they'd met here at the hanger, who she suspected to be the pilot.It wasn't long though, before he came to lead her into the beautiful craft.Damn, if she'd thought that the outside was beautiful, the interior was exquisite and luxurious.There was

The hanger there landed in was more or less like the same one they'd left from, but she lacked the time to admire it's expanse and space.There was a car, probably a rental, waiting for them and as soon as they alighted from the jet, they were shepherded into the black, sleek car that sat lazily, waiting for them.There were two men that looked more like the one back home, the unsmiling ones that Riley had called 'grumpy'.She'd wanted to fuss about her bag but then she saw one of the men collecting it from Stacy before the woman went in and the stairs to the jet shut her in.Everything was happening so fast and her head was still reeling from the words Jordan had spoken to her just few minutes ago."I love you, baby girl."She wanted to believe he meant it.He opened the door to the expensive looking four wheeler and held it for her, letting her get in with ease.

Her phone was lying on the floor, the screen half lit, but the only thought in her head was that these are the Carter boys and they were here, in Jordan's dad's room.She didn't need a second glance to recognize them, it's been years but they'd only gotten older and more define with a healthy dose of masculinity, just like their....brother, but unlike him, they hadn't changed at all.Her eyes flew to Jordan in a plea but he seemed just as surprised as she was, but it was obviously for different reasons.Her head was spinning, her brain quickly piecing together every single information she has on this and the answer was right there, glaring at her but it was too ugly and scared for her to believe it."Joceline?"The younger of the two men that just entered the room, who she remembered to be Zayn, asked.She wanted to answer, she wanted to open her mouth and te

TEN YEARS EARLIERTherewas knocking on the door of her balcony and there was only one person in the whole wide world that ever comes into her room from that door.Jordan.With a wide smile on her lips, she went to open the door to let her best friend in, a warning she didn't half mean sitting at the tip of her tongue.She already knew that no matter how many times she warns him off, he'd never use the front door.She's tried and his reply have always remained same, "that's their door down there, Jo, this is mine. I'll always use it because I need you."She dragged herself over and opened up but thechiddingdied on her lips as soon as she saw his face.No, he wasn't here to taunt her or disturb the hell out of her life.

"What the fuck man? I'm no woman expert but you don't keep them in the dark about something this big."Jordan watched Zayn finish his lecture with a shrug, wondering if his brother wasn't right somehow.Maybe he should have told her on that first day she'd sauntered into his office, looking hot as hell.Maybe he should have reminded her that he was the same Jordan she'd left behind when she moved with her family, the very same one whose life had hit rock bottom as he'd tried to learn living without his anchor to sanity.She'd been that for him after all, the one reason he never reeled off into the deep, dark ends.And maybe he should have told her about the countless nights he'd go over to her house and scale her balcony, a pack of beer or two in his backpack, just because he couldn't sleep.He'd let himself into her room and lie in her bed which they'd left behind for some reason,

JoJo wasn't sure how long she stood there, watching the big house that now stood where theirs should have been standing.But she knew watching it wouldn't change a thing.It wouldn't take her back to her childhood and it wouldn't erase the fact that Jordan had lied to her and played her like the fucking strings of a guitar.She was tired and her eyes burned from all the crying she'd done.And now she had to worry about where to go from here.She didn't want to go back to the hospital, she wasn't ready to see him yet, she wasn't ready to listen to him lie to her again.She didn't want to look in his eyes and see what a fool she's been.It'd kill her to.She dragged her feet from the spot she stood in, her brain working overtime on where she will go from here.She'd probably lodge in a low cost hotel for the night and then get a retur

Hailey stood in front of the whole family, her seven year old palms sweaty. She'd spent the whole night reciting this all over again, so it shouldn't be a big deal, yeah? "It's okay, baby, it's just us." Jojo whispered from her seat, her very pregnant belly making her movement strenuous. Yeah, just them. Well, here goes nothing. "Uhhmm, this is my family tree....." She started a little shyly, pointing to the treelike structure balanced on the table next to her, stuck full of pictures. Her voice was so small, but it carried around the room. "I made it myself, well, mummy helped.....a lot. And I'm taking it to school for show and tell on Monday." She could see her daddy giving her an encouraging thumbs up and it put the light into her eyes and confidence in her voice. "From the top, this is Granny Meghan and Grandpa Tommy who I didn't get to meet and they gave birth to my mommy and Riley. Too bad they died b

If JoJo had thought her life was a mess, the truth she'd just discovered crashed if past the grounds, it shattered every truth she's ever known and believed. Uncle Fer....... Fucking Ferdinand! That monster. He'd been the architect of a her pain and problem but he'd always crawled back to blow on them and make it seem like he'd cared. And to find out that he'd been her sperm donor, it killed her to believe it. Jordan was as struck as she was from what they'd read. She ached for her mother too, who'd had to live with all these for years, having no one to be by her side while she played sick and lost in a bid to protect her girls. It must have been hard, being in bed all year round, reliving the nightmares of both events and hating herself for being so weak. She swore she'd be stronger, for herself and Riley and they'd bring the man to Justice, for her mom. But I like her mom, she had Jordan by her side in these t

Jocelyn,Been so long I said your name, guess this might be last you'd hear me call you by your name.So many years have passed and sometimes I lie here, in bed and regret the decisions I made in the past.But I'll always hope you realise it was all for the best, I did what I did to keep you and your sister alive and out of the clutches of the devil, Ferdinand.The man is a devil that shouldn't have found his way into our lives, but he did and till date, we are all still suffering in the wake of all his evil deeds.Tommy, your father, bless his soul, was a good man, the best ever.I met them both while in college and yeah, Ferdinand asked to court me first, but my heart had been longing for another and I'd turned him down.Turns out that was a sin he couldn't forgive.

"No, that can't be." Jojo muttered in disgust as she watched the video playing out before her.There's no way this is true, no way it's him.It'd kill her to believe it was and see just how blind she's been all these years, to find out that her mom had been right all along......God, no.But her denial didn't bring any desired difference to what she'd seen, it didn't wipe the memory or make the video a prank.This had been the night she'd lost her father, this had been where his body had been found, there's no mistaking it, she'd never forgotten.It took Jordan rubbing down her back and asking her in a concerned voice to breathe, to realise she'd been holding her breath.Maybe if she holds it in long enough, she'd realise that all this is just a dream home wrong.Or maybe it wasn't and she was just in a hopeless denial."Please Jordan, tell me it's not him, tell me that's not Uncle Ferdie, I'll believe you."She sob

After Riley was fed and out with her very own little family, Alfie and puppy, JoJo got to work searching for that little box.It was one thing to loose her mother so unexpectedly, but to loose the last trace of evidence and her only hope to bringing whoever had been behind her decade old pain to justice?No fucking way!She turned the room they'd been in inside out in her search, but it was nowhere to be found.She was already halfway done with fixing it back up when it did occur to her that she'd last seen the box while lying in that bed with Jordan.It made a lot of sense to think that he had gone missing from the room at the same time her box had and that easily translates to it possibly being in his possession.It kinda pissed her to have him butting into her family issues without her permission, even without the confirmation that he had.Stupid, yeah, but it did embarrassment to have all her linens in his hands without any contro

JoJo woke before Riley did, there'd been nightmares that didn't let her hold onto the oblivion for too long. She was glad Riley wasn't subjected to the same fate though that didn't hold for long. Tiny feet and big, soulful brown eyes found her sooner than she'd have liked, clouded with visible confusion and fear. "Come here, baby girl." She called to her from where she stood at the door. It did just occur to her why the room looked emptier than she last remembered it. Jordan had been with her before she'd succumbed to the luring hands of sleep. "Come." Her voice was much softer, pleading and beckoning, she didn't want force her, that could be more harmful than it'd be good. The younger girl finally gave in, and came into the room, crawling into JoJo's laps. She held her, stroking her hair, the quietness that was hanging around the house making her nauseous. Maybe it's always been this quiet with

The twist got bigger the deeper he dug and the plot hole wider.There'd been a lot going on with Tom Collen and Ferdinand and the more he discovered, the clearer it got and the more his theory on Tom's murder held.The files on the card were too many to peruse at one go so he abandoned it for the line card he'd inserted to read.At first there seemed to be nothing of interest in it until he stumbled upon a video record.It looked to be from a security camera recording from long ago.He sat in his chair, watching it and wishing he didn't have to.It made it worse that this was what he'd have to show JoJo, the horror she'd have to see.If only he could save her this, the pain and the nightmare.She didn't deserve it, not do soon, not with everything she was dealing with.He dialed Brad instead, requesting for immediate audience.They've become an investigative team of their own after all,bent on riding the world of

She finally fell asleep, right in Jordan's arms, drained from all the tears she'd cried and all the grief she'd let herself become buried under.He understood her pain, he'd seen it, experienced it and it was nothing to joke about.And he'd give anything in a heartbeat to take it away from her, to see her face light up with one of those her beautiful smiles that always made his day.These times have been the hardest and this crown looks too heavy for the head wearing it.But one thing he was sure of was that he was going no where, he'd be her, by her side until it gets better and even then, there'd be no force strong enough to remove him from her life.He loves her more than he'd ever imagined he could love anyone, his baby girl, his JoJo.She looked calmed while she slept, a tad bit relaxed, better than she'd been when she'd been up and grieving.He leaned down, pressing his lips to her forehead in a gentle, tender kiss.Her g

Meghan's passing was a blow nobody expected, and everyone was taking it hard around the house, especially JoJo.She'd never expected this day to come so soon and now that it did, it did hit hard.She'd been do lost, but Jordan had been there every step of the way, taking charge and getting the body to the morgue.At least that's where she believes they went.She'd let herself get sucked into shadowing Riley and crying her soul out.Riley was asleep now, having cried herself to it, and now JoJo had time on her hands to mourn.She had the watch she'd recently just retrieved, fiddling with it and wondering what she's supposed to do with the damn thing without Meghan to give her a guide.The door to the room came open and Jordan stood at the door.She wasn't expecting him to be back so soon.She could see the pity swimming in his eyes even before he took steps closer in her direction.He was careful not to wake
